AstOnishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has used
Boschees German Syrup to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asth-
ma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will relieve
any case, and we consider it the duty of all
druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
so, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed vas reported
Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try, sold at II
cents. Regular size, rs cents. Sold by al
druggists and dealers, in the United State,

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
Charges of Fraud in the Michigan EIec.
tiOn-VOters Imported from Wisconsin.
MIIwAukEE. Wis. Anril Q

MILWAUKEE, Wis. April 9.
A special from Marquette, Mich, says
There is great excitement all over the north
ern Michigan penin.ular over alleged frauds
in the recent election, which place in doubt
the fate of the prohibitory amendment. The
Ironw ood authorities are reported to have
sought legal advice, it being charged that
voters by hundreds were imported from Wis
consin to vote against the amendment. The
frauds are all alleged to have occurred in
Gogebec county; that the most wholesale
frauds were carried on there seems apparent.
The revised returns cut down the vote against
the amendment to $3.50 allowing Bessemer
nearly 1900. If Bessemer county is thrown
out and there is no doubt of the contest, the
State has certainly carried the amendment.

which they differ are, first: The committee

for Oct. 4, as Mr.. Bell suggested. but that it
be left open till the Thistle arrives; second,
that five races instead of the usual three, as
suggested by him, are not necessary or desi-

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD
TIMBER.

There are certain appearances
which are characteristic of strong
and durable timber, to what class
soever it belongs. 1. In the same.
species Of timber, that specimen will,
in general, be the strongest and
most durable which has grown the
slowest, as shown by the narrow
ness Of the annual rings. 2. The
cellular tissue, as seen in the medul-
larry rays (when visible), should be
hard and compact. 3. The vascular
orfbrous tissues should adhere firmly
together, and should show no wool
mess at a freshly cut surface, nor
should it clog the teeth of the saw
with loose tibers. I. If the wood is
colored, darkness Of color is in gen
eral a sign Of strength and durability.
5. The freshly cut surface Of the
wood should be firm and shining,
and should have somewhat ola trans
lucent appearance. A dull, chaIky
appearance is a sign Of bad timber.
6. In wood of a given species, the
heaviest specimens r in general
the stronger and more lasting. Z.
Among resinous woods, those which
have least resin in their pores, and
among n~on-resinous woods, those
which have least sapor gum in them,
are in general the strongest and
most lasting. 8. 1t is stated by some
authors that in fir wood that which
has more sap wood, and in hard wood
that which has the least, is the most
durable but the universally of this
law is doubtful. Timber should be
free from such blemishes as clefts or
cracks radiating from the center,
coup shakes" or cracks which par

A LOVE SONG.

AS l passed by n day;
And paused to see the maid who san.
That ballad quaint and gay,
About a brave and handsome knight
Who loved and rode away.
saw her fitting here and there,
On household tasks intent;
The while she sang in tender strains
Of how he did relent,
And rode full many a weary mile
To gain his loves consent.
But ah, although she sang of love,
Her voice was light and gay,
And we'll | know her maiden heart
Had never felt loves sway,
And yet, explain it as you will,

But now | never stop to hear,
As l pass by that way,
The girl who sang while at her work
That ballad quaint and gay;
Because-she sings a sweeter song
